OUR STORY
We are one of Central Otago's founding wineries
OUR STORY
Good Wine. Good Food. Good Living.
As one of the region’s founding wineries, our focus is always on handcrafting premium wines and honouring the traditions that have made us a world-renowned destination, since releasing Central Otago's first commercial vintage in 1987.
Our wine is unfined, unfiltered and sustainably produced. Not only in our wine, but in our dining and other experiences we offer, we create unique and pure reflections of our ruggedly-beautiful and incredibly diverse surrounds. We're inspired by the pursuit of good wine, good food and what we like to call good living.
OUR WINEMAKERS
Meet the team behind our handcrafted, award-winning wines
Our winemakers pour their passion for wine and the alluring and unique characteristics of our vineyards into every bottle of Gibbston Valley Wine. From handpicking whole bunches of grapes to macerating fruit by foot, they use traditional and time-tested techniques to craft our award-winning range of premium varietals.
OUR VINEYARDS
Located in the Gibbston and Bendigo sub-regions our vineyards are exceptionally individual within the stunning Central Otago region.
We value and respect our vineyards most of all. We have seven vineyards, two in Gibbston and five in Bendigo. Their intricate and diverse landscapes allow us to create wines that reflect the site they grow in. Everything from the soil type to altitude and temperatures during growing season impacts the flavours and aromas of our wine.
WINE RANGES

We offer four distinct ranges, each showcasing a different aspect of our unique Central Otago vineyards.
OUR HISTORY
Learn about our rich winemaking history as one of Central Otago’s founding wineries.
We have the unbridled passion of a wild Irishman and his zeal for risk taking to thank for our legacy as the region’s founding winery. No one thought grapes could flourish at 45 degrees south of the equator, but wine pioneer, Alan Brady, took a chance on the unknown and planted the region’s first vines in 1983.
The rest, as they say, is history. Today, his original Home Block Vineyard continues to create award-winning vintages and is now certified organic.

There are no words to describe the delicious food and the great wine selection. Also, many thanks to one of the very nice winemakers, Matt, for an interesting and pleasant winery tour!
Delicious and delightful
Wietidz Auckland, New Zealand
A wonderful place to visit on your way through Queenstown. The wine tasting was fantastic. Great options and suggestions of what to eat with your tastings. We got a platter to go along with our tastings which was fantastic. By far the best food we'd had in a long time.
Informative and Delicious

They make great Pinot Noir at this boutique winery, and I also loved their riesling. The tours are informative and they allow you to taste three different wines in their cave. The setting is lovely, and it's well worth a stop.
Delightful

We researched a number of "cellar doors" in advance of our Queenstown trip and decided to visit the wine cave as part of our self-drive itinerary. We were not disappointed. The short tour was relaxed and informative. The staff clearly have a passion for their product.
